Wide-Angle Prime for Nikon F
The Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 15mm f/2.8 ZF.2 is a manual-focus wide-angle prime lens built for Nikon F-mount cameras. It suits photographers and videographers who want precise control over composition and exposure without autofocus assistance. The Distagon optical design aims to control distortion and deliver sharp results across the frame. CPU contacts enable automatic exposure modes and EXIF data transfer.
Verify Mount and Focus Preference
Confirm your camera body accepts Nikon F-mount lenses and that you are comfortable with manual focusing only. The ZF.2 CPU supports shutter-priority, aperture-priority and program auto-exposure as well as manual exposure on non-AI bodies. Buyers who need autofocus or a different mount should consider other options.
Mechanical Build and Optical Extras
The lens barrel is constructed to resist damage during regular handling. A floating element system maintains consistent performance throughout the focusing range. Five glass elements with anomalous partial dispersion help suppress colour fringing. The T* coating reduces flare and ghosting even with strong highlights in the scene.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 15 mm f/2.8 Distagon or a different focal length for architecture?
The 15 mm f/2.8 Distagon is the only model described; its ultra-wide angle and floating-element design suit architecture and landscape work.
How does the f/2.8 aperture perform on a full-frame Nikon body in low light?
At f/2.8 the lens gathers ample light for handheld evening shots, and the CPU transmits EXIF data for accurate metering in aperture-priority or program modes.
